Political career
==Political career==
Kanaris served as Minister in various governments and then as [[Prime Minister of Greece|Prime Minister]] from [[March 11]]- [[April 11]], [[1844]]. He served a second term ([[October 27]], [[1848]] – [[December 24]], [[1849]]) and a third ([[May 28]], [[1854]] – [[July 29]], [[1854]]). In [[1862]] he was one of the few War of Independence veterans that helped in the bloodless revolution that deposed King [[Otto of Greece]] and put Prince William of Denmark on the Greek throne as King [[King George I ]] of [[Greece]]. Under George I, he served as a prime minister for a fourth term ([[March 17]] – [[April 28]], [[1864]]), fifth term ([[August 7]], [[1864]] – [[February 9]], [[1865]]) and sixth and last term ([[June 7]] – [[September 2]], [[1877]]). Following his death his government remained in power until [[September 14]], [[1877]] without agreeing on a replacement at its head. He was buried in the First Cemetery of Athens, where most Greek prime ministers and celebrated figures are also buried. After his death he was honored as a national hero.
He is thought to be distantly related to [[Wilhelm Canaris]], head of the German [[Abwehr]] during [[World War II]], but the exact genealogical connection remains uncertain.
